131 Days (book 4): About the Blood goes to the editor on October 6th as of now. He’s busy with other projects, resulting in the late date. I’ll be working on book 5 in the meantime.
And that other news…

Mr. Blackmore,
As a true fan of zombie everything, TV, movies, and many many books both indie, and “big house” published. I just wanted to let you know that “Mountain Man” is by far one of the BEST series I’ve read.
I look forward to reading more from you in the very near future.
Thank you for sharing your talent and stories with those of us who enjoy reading great and truly original tales.
Thank you for reading 🙂
Any updates planned for Mountain Man? Book 4? GREAT series but I need MORE!!!
Hmm Book 4 is out there– called “Well Fed.” After that there’s the new prequel, which happens before events in Mountain Man. The zombie breakout installment, I guess you can call it. Otherwise…. nope. 🙂 That’s it. Sorry.
Ive been reading it all!!! Addicted!!! Please tell me there is a book 6 in the 131 days series…
There will be a book 6, just a question of when…
131 days is one of the best series I have listened to in a while please write book six focus on that series oh and keep the same narrator he brings ur books to life
Glad you liked the books, Josh. I intend to keep writing them to the last book.:)
I never heard of you until I stumbled on 131 days after listening to Spartacus on audible, I had all 5 books done in no time and have been waiting for book 6 and trying to find any info on it I could find,
Is there a release date or estimated release date so I can put it in my calendar?
No release date as of yet, as I’ve yet to start work on book 6. I do have a few opening chapters however. Hopefully work will commence in earnest sometime this summer, with an eye on finishing the series.
I am so very glad to hear this! The 131 days series and the mountain man series are a collection of my very favorite books and they get me through through my days at work every single day.
Book 6 of 131 Please!!!! Big fan great work on that series.
I should return to it later this year if all goes according to plan…
So… how’s that working out?
Book 5 of 131 is out on the market. Book 6 should be started in on in the new year, and hopefully, sales will be strong enough for me to keep working on the thing until the series is over. Hopefully…
Hi all, I’ve just done the series so far in about 2 weeks .. then the panic starts of when the next is out 😂
It’s truly magnificent
Definitely pining for the next 131 days. Super underrated series… I’m sure it’ll catch on eventually.
And I will get back to that series. With the intention of finishing it.
I am a MASSIVE fan of the Mountain Man and 131 days series. Since I yawn my head off after reading 1 sentence I turned to audiobooks and glad I did!! The way they are read by the narrators are much better than I could ever imagine. Keith c Blackmore is a genius at writing!! I have listened to both series at least 10 times EACH and still chuckle at the humour. Read/listen to these books, u will not be disappointed!!!
Love the 131 days books. So many story lines far from finished. Cant wait for book 6.
please, please please continue 131 days i need book 6, 7, 8
131 days – absolutely love it. Let there be 10 books, minimum (Seden above🙌🏼). John Lee is also great (as always).
Hey Keith, any updates on the 131 days series? My life is unfit without the next book.
Sorry Abe, still working on the follow-up to “White Sands, Red Steel” and it’s taking longer than expect due to circumstances beyond my control. When I finish the book, however, I will be starting in on the next 131, and will try to deliver books 6 and 7 within a much reasonable time frame. With a little luck, maybe even a book 8 IF sales for books 6 and 7 are strong enough to justify it. I tried writing back to back books before (131 Days, books 4 and 5) and because of weak sales, I had to stop. The good news is, the audiobooks are selling much better than the print and ebook.. and that’s very good news.
I discovered it on Audible and told all my friends to check it out – what an awesome series!!!
Thank you!!!
Stumbled on the three book Audible series of 131 Days after listening to your Mountain Man books (I follow RC Bray as he is one of my favorite narrators and tend to buy whatever he narrates). Enjoyed the series immensely and quickly bought books 4 and 5. Looking forward to book 6 – and now adding John Lee to my list of favorite narrators. Quick question – how may books do you plan in this series? I drive a lot for work and am always looking for length/quality Audible series. 131 Days is one of the best I have found.
🙂 Thanks for that, Justin. Glad you are enjoying the stories. As to your question, back when I started, I envisioned a 10 book series. Now however, I think I can tell the remainder of the story in at least two more books, and possibly a third–so that would be eight books. And the series has been delayed, because of a lack of sales. The good news is, 131 has found a second life on audio, so once I get through the current project (finishing the follow-up to “White Sands, Red Steel”) I’ll be starting work on book 6 and probably book 7. Hopefully, sales will justify getting to work on a book 8. Now, there is an outside chance it might go to 9 books, but…. we’ll see. All depends on how much I can fit into a book 6, 7, and possibly 8, because like you, folks generally like to read/listen too longer works. So, yeah, we’ll see. 🙂
relieved to hear it’s still being planned. just burned through all 5 audiobooks, and was heartbroken to learn that was it. sorry to hear sales for it haven’t been up to expectations. i’ll spread the news, but some will be leary of starting something that was “seemingly abandoned” several years ago. same people feeling hopeless about Song of Ice & Fire, so i suppose it’s not an unwarranted fear. but for me, all 5 have been super, and the narrator is a great fit. for me so far, this series is right up there among the ranks of Joe Abercrombie & GRRM. can’t wait for the resolution (but, of course, i’ll HAVE to). 😀
Believe me, I wanted to finish the series long ago, but, yeah. I’ll get it done, and probably way before we see a book 6 from GRRM.
Stoked to hear this! Just finished 5. I’ve already been through your mountain man btw loved it! Looking forward to listening to the rest of your work!!!!
I cannot put in to words how much I LOVE the Mountain Man series, and am now also totally hooked on 131 Days! Thank you Keith! I spend a lot of time in my car for work, and your amazing stories on audio make the time fly by. I would love to see a Mountain Man series on one of the streaming services, it would make the other “famous” Z-word shows look bad, and Gus is such a great protagonist. A normal guy, not some super bad ass killing machine, just a guy doing what he has to to survive. I look forward to book six of 131 Days as I need to find out what is going on with my boys in the 10, and if and when Halm will return to the pit. Thank you again and all the best to you!
Glad to hear it :). Here’s the teaser I’ve been telling people–I’ve managed to write a few chapters of book 6, and Gurga (you remember him?) is not happy….
Look forward to the rest of the story of 131 days. What is Junger’s story, will Goll have to face him? I did wonder if you would follow up with Gurga, I can see him killing all the Sons, maybe he can have a happy ending and be employed by The House Of Ten.
Many questions!
Hi,
I discovered Mountain Man on Audible and absolutely tore through all of those stories, they were so much fun. Going through the catalog, I found 131 days and just purchased book 5. I was on here looking for info for book 6 and see that’s it’s in progress.
Just wanted to leave a quick note that I really enjoyed these stories and am kinda bummed that I’m going to be done and caught up in just a few hours. Thanks for the updates and I’m looking forward to the next ones!
Poor Pignot has been wasting away in the city prison for a LOOOOONG TIME!!! Loved Mountain Man but 131 Days was awesome. Can’t wait to see what happens next. Hoping the audio sales continue to rise. I listened to all five books after searching for books narrated by John Lee. Thank you Keith for the stories. Please keep them coming. Signed- one of your constant readers.
Lol yes he has… in real time. In book time, not so long, but considering what he’s going through, yeah, it’s probably a long time. I hope audio (and ebook) sales for 131 continue to rise and I’m hopeful that the next installment for 131 will kick the whole series in to high gear. Something which the last couple of books failed to do. Thanks for listening/reading 🙂
Hello there good Keith! I just finished the 5 books from the 131 Days series in just over a week and I’m itching for more my man! I came here looking for some info on book 6 and read that you were hoping for sales to increase to continue. Please don’t abandon it we need more! In the meantime I’m going to start Mountain Man after I post this. Looking forward to it
